Angelo studied at the Academy in Roma and later worked as a painter, illustrator, and creator of murals and theater and film stage sets. In 1923 he began as an illustrator for the fascist weekly “La Rocca”. He mainly illustrated books, designed posters, and was known as a futurist painter. He was the father of Angelo Enrico, aka “Bido”, an artist, sculptor and set designer; his grandson was Paolo Canevari, a contemporary conceptual artist famous in Italy, whose works are also shown at MoMA. In 1936 in Berlin, Angelo submitted his designs for the mosaics Nuoto and Atletica for the indoor swimming pool on the Foro Mussolini.
